HC Deb 08 July 1987 vol 119 c170W
15. Mr. Speller

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will seek powers to enable him to restore development or assisted area status to north Devon; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Atkins

I am not persuaded that there is a case for change in the boundaries of the assisted areas map which were established only two and a half years ago.
